Alfie was just 12 when he impregnated Chantelle, then
14, the Sun said.
The boy, who looks more like he's 8, not 13, vowed to
be a good father.
"I didn't think about how we would afford it. I don't
really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me 10 pounds (21 U. S.
dollars)," the innocent-eyed teenager from Eastbourne, south England, told the
newspaper.

"When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get
in trouble ... I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good,
though, and care for it."
Chantelle and the baby are
living with Penny, Chantelle's jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a
rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits.
Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum
Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans'
house.
